Please use examination booklets (so-called “bluebooks” -- of large or small size) for each of the examinations. 

 

Partial credit on tests is awarded only for work that is mostly correct except for one on two minor errors.  You will not be given partial credit for attempting to solve a problem by an incorrect method.  You must show your work on the tests.  A correct answer without the accompanying correct work will receive no credit; an incorrect final answer accompanied by mostly correct work will receive substantial credit.  Also, it is your responsibility to arrange your work in a logical manner and to write legibly.  Remember, when your paper is graded, the grade is based on the work shown, not what was intended or implied.  The use of pocket calculators, cell phones, and other such aids is prohibited during examinations.   

 

Withdrawals:  Tuesday, March 3rd, is the last day to withdraw from the class.
